i agree. everybody seems to have this notion that ALL pitbulls are mean & vicious. it really all depends on how they were trained. & even if my dog is only HALF pitbull, that still doesnt excuse him from having pitbull behavior. & when he does start to show that side of him we all put an end to it right quick. therefore, he is a gentle animal. there will be no malling of any kind of his part. hell more than likley lick you to death than tear your face off. & im not just being biased because i have a half pitbull. my neighboors have two of his siblings & they are also very friendly.

^It is their bloodline to be vicious. They are historically fighting dogs. But totally, it is fully on the owners shoulders as to how a pitbull turns out to be.

They eat children. Over here a pitbull attacked a child! But luckily a wee terrior came to the rescue and bit at the pitbulls legs so the kid could escape! Weeee...

we already have a ban here, anyone who currently owns one has to get it registered and take out a $1,000,000 liability insurance policy, they cannot be bred, they cannot be walked in public without being muzzled. I do not think this is unreasonable

What's next, a ban on children because a small percentage of them bite people?

@ Mereblood

Not exactly, pit bulls actually have mauled and killed many children. I know of a case in Houston a few years back where a pit bull ate the stomach out of a child in front of its mother. Even so your remark does not even come close to making a realistic comparison between the 2.

In general I somewhat agree with this law. I think their should be an appeals process, but realistically these dogs are not meant for household pets. I am sure that you can raise a perfectly good pit bull, just like you COULD raise a perfectly good lion.... only thing is sometimes they freak. I know that we as Americans love the idea that we can pick whatever flavor we want, but seriously people have died because you want a 'cute pit bull'; instead pick some other kind of dog to fill the void in your life

(i really love animals dont get the wrong idea)

So have pickup trucks, are you going to ban them?

jgd85 · 08-26-2008, 06:16 PM

The pick up truck didnt maul and kill children, the person behind the wheel did.

Well if we're going to get nitpicky, technically, the pickup truck did maul and kill children. The person behind the wheel just caused it to happen. =D

But srsly, the point is that you can't just put a blanket ban on something because it causes problems once in a blue moon. I'm sure there are far more friendly pitbulls out there than there are violent ones. It's that same mentality that leads to a lot of old people crossing the street when they see a teenager. Not all sixteen year-olds are out to steal your **** and bust your lip, grandma.
